Method

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan and add garlic, chilli, paprika, bay, rosemary and cumin seeds and heat for 30seconds (do not colour, you only want to release the flavours).
  2. Add all the remaining ingredients apart from the stock.
  3. Saute the vegetables for 2 minutes until they are fully coated in the spices.
  4. Add the stock, turn down the heat and allow the soup to simmer for about 45 mins.
  5. Allow the soup to cool and then blend with a hand whisk, until free of lumps. If the soup is too thick add a little more stock until you have the desired consistancy.
  6. Reheat when ready to serve and eat with a big hunk of crusty bread, delicious!

    It is very nice and tasty, just be careful with the chilli, mine was a little on the hot side.

    Delicious! Will definitely make again. Used no salt stock cubes and was sparing on the chilli so the whole family could enjoy it.

    Made this soup today added more fresh chilli then stated as like it spicy left everything else as it was in the recipe, really enjoyed it and will make again. A really warming soup for a chilly night. Even my 13 year old enjoyed it with plenty of crusty bread.

    This is really tasty with and without chilli! When I first started making it I didn't have a blander and its great as chunky soup, also using a potato masher worked lol but I have make this again and again for friends and family and it always goes down a treat

    I love this soup, I've just made my second batch this week! I used lazy chilli instead of fresh as that's what I had in, also use chicken stock as I think it adds more flavour. Lovely with a swirl of creme fraiche when serving, perfect for this cold weather!

    Delicious. Enjoyed by all the family. I adjusted the spices a bit . Used one smallish fresh chilli, as my home grown ones are very fiery, and no chilli powder, but upped the paprika to one generous teaspoon, and also added a good teaspoon of cumin powder as well as the seeds, and a bit of fresh thyme because I happened to have some. Served with a generous sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. As others have said, you can adjust the seasonings of this recipe according to your own taste. This worked well for us.
